At any moment, life can throw adversity in our direction: the shock of sudden financial loss, an automobile accident, uncertainty and unrest from changes at work, the pain of feeling disliked or judged by a colleague...
What does it take to be okay inside of ourselves no matter what is happening out in the world? Life is easy when things are going our way. What defines our true character is who we are when things are not going our way, when we are put to the test…when we are faced with the impossible. True resilience and success, both personally and professionally, requires an intricate understanding of the mechanisms inside ourselves that allow us to navigate adversity. With this knowledge, we can pursue and advance towards our dreams and goals with unwavering courage, purpose, confidence and the strength of an open heart.
